Will Ruiz get respect if...

If Ruiz wins, P.R. will put him on a pedestal.

the only way ruiz will get my respect or any other sane person's respect, is if he changes his style again, shows that he at least has SOME skill to speak of, becomes a slugger, knocks people out, and gets involved in one or two fights of the year candidates. now, back to reality... fuck john the bum ruiz. EXACTLY! I couldn't have said it better myself. IF Ruiz FIGHTS Valuev, as Evil/Live explains, I'll respect him for as long as he remains a fighter. Otherwise...see above!

I agree with most posters on this site about respecting Ruiz; if Ruiz can knock out Valuev or make the fight entertaining by going toe-to-toe with Nico, then I'll give him all the respect in the world.

I agree. You have to be either completely crazy or be very brave to go to Germany(Land of the Living Crooked Judges)and face a 7 foot monster who weighs almost 100 pounds more than you. What's he got to lose, that he hasn't lost twice already, anyway?

Cobra Kai rules..I'd give you karma, but it won't let me. "Is there a problem, Mr.Lawrence?" "Sweep the leg."

Hey, who's the drunk, now sober and semi hung-over fucking idiot, that thought last night was saturday, trying to find out who won the Ruiz/Valuev fight? Oh yeah, that's me. ... lol

He slays the giant related to King Kong? Any thoughts? I think so.

I agree. if Ruiz can win in conclusive fashion away from home then hell, you gotta respect him! To win in Germany it will have to be in conclusive fashion :)

where the hell is the pretender?? his ass would be posting here if he was still active

I think Ruiz pretty much lost all future respect when Roy Jones handed him his ass and took his title. I like the guy, but pretty much nothing he can do short of miraculously changing his style and single handedly destroying the whole heavyweight division, will earn him any respect.

I always root for the guy, but mainly because of nationality and because the guy is humble, although Stone makes him look bad sometimes. By the way, just got your vote and you have a one vote lead now. Humble? Humble guys don't bitch and moan about refs after they've been beaten in the face for twelve straight rounds. Humble guys humbly admit that they're shit fighters compared to former middleweights, and they don't deserve to carry Evander Holyfield's jockstrap (to paraphrase Larry Holmes.)

He slays the giant related to King Kong? Any thoughts? Not from me, he won't.

this is exactly how i feel, fuck this freakazoid what did he do to disserve a title shot?? i mean besides looking like a monster.

no, ruiz wont ever gain much respect, his losses to former middleweights and his gay hugging style just dont make him a popular guy

if John Ruiz beats Valuev, then he will become one of the guys i will cheer for the rest of my life, i dont care if he has to bite valuev;s nuts i wanna see him beat valuev this is exactly how i feel, fuck this freakazoid

I agree. You have to be either completely crazy or be very brave to go to Germany(Land of the Living Crooked Judges)and face a 7 foot monster who weighs almost 100 pounds more than you. dude. I gauruntee Chris Byrd would fight Valuev in Germany. Simply because him being not garbage would beat him. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!
